Applicants over 80 and under 14 years
Applicants under 14 and over 80 years old are not required to schedule an interview at the Consulate. These applicants can apply for a nonimmigrant visa by sending us the following:
When applying for children under the age of 14 years old you must also send us the passports from both parents. If the children are traveling to the United States for naturalization appointments with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), please provide a copy of the children’s appointment letters with DHS. For children whose parents are American citizens and cannot transmit citizenship to the children, please submit a "letter of non-transmission of U.S. Citizenship" from the American Citizen Services section of the Consulate before submitting the application. Alternatively, the American citizen parent can provide a signed letter listing the dates they lived in the United States, specifically highlighting any residency in the United States after the age of 14 years of age.
In some cases it may be necessary to schedule an in person interview with a Consular Officer at the Consulate. If the application is for a child under the age of 14, the child’s parents or guardian will be required to represent the child during the interview; in most cases the child will not be required to attend. If an interview is necessary, we will contact you to arrange a time.
